NEW VINTAGE LOOK DESK LAMPS


I found these great lamps at a discount store recently.  They are actually cast iron, in white, with these black, crackled glass shades at the top.  They hold 75 watt bulbs and so I found some CFL bulbs that put out the same light and only use 23 watts.  We put them on the desk in the foyer because the last time I was there at night, I realized that there was no light in the foyer and it makes the desk unusable at night.  So I had been looking for something that would work.  Saw these and they turned out to be perfect.  I think they even have a bit of a retro feel to them.  They almost look like large candle holders.  One on each end of the desk fills the small foyer with light and now I can sit at the desk at night and write.

    1. They were given to us by a dear friend, they have words carved in them that that say "HOPE" and "HARMONY". He said those words represented the two of us. We've had them for years but when I got the desk, I knew they had to be out there as part of that.

    1. Ha, it does look like that huh? No, I had to actually check to make sure. Here is the link to when I got it last year and you can see a closeup picture: http://twomenandalittlefarm.blogspot.com/2012/05/seda-bolsa-now-has-mascot.html

    1. Yes, isn't that neat? I'm assuming they are painted, but definitely heavy cast iron or at least very heavy metal of some sort, ha.
